Dynamic! Stereo! Tremolo! Fender!
I wanted to show off one of my favourite features of the Axe-Fx II: the ability to assign performance-dependent controllers to all kinds of parameters in effect blocks to create things that move and breath and change with your playing.
In this example we start with a really nice pair of stereo Fender Vibrolux amps. The amp blocks are just slightly different and they're running through different, hard panned, speaker IRs to give it all some width and variance.
Out in front of these is a Tremolo/Panner block set in mono Tremolo mode. It has its Depth and Rate parameters attached to an envelope controller that tracks the amplitude of my guitar signal. If I play harder the tremolo goes deeper and faster, and as the signal fades it goes slower and shallower. It's a wonderful feeling sound to play with; the whole setup feels amazingly alive as it changes with your touch and pick attack.
You can do this sort of thing to lots of different parameters on lots of different effects with the Axe-Fx II. Something that's nearly impossible to achieve in the analog equivalent of the world.
